I am an in-state rising senior interested in UMN College of Science and Engineering.

ACT: 31 (35 R, 31 E, 29 S, 28 M, 8 writing)
GPA: 3.993 UW
PSAT: 1430
SAT: I took the SAT once but won’t get my scores back until July
My school doesn’t rank, but I can possibly request it in the fall.

Courses: Honors English, AP Psych, AP Calc AB, AP Lang, and senior year I’ll be doing PSEO English and Human Geo, and AP Calc BC.
I got a 5 on the AP Psych exam, and will most likely be getting 4s or above on AP Lang and Calc (based on mock exam performance).
I meet/exceed all of the U’s required courses.

ECs: Gymnastics for 5 years (Captain for 2 yrs), Girl Scouts for 7+ years, STLF (volunteering club) for 3 years, freshman orientation for 2 years, and French speaking competitions for 2 year.

I am a woman and my dad went to UMN CSE, if that makes a difference. I am most worried about my ACT score, I would like to take it again to get my math and science scores higher. They are lower then I would like them to be, especially because of my AP performance, and I am sure I could get them up, but it would be my 4th time taking the ACT and I’m worried that might be too many times. Also my writing score is not great, but does that matter that much for CSE? I will also be most likely doing well on the AP Lang exam if that makes a difference. So I guess what are my chances? And is there anything I can do to better my odds?

Thanks in advance!
